PEN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 670,849, dated March26, 1901.

Application filed October 4, 1900. Serial No. 82,025. (No model.)

To ctZZ 1071 0721, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JUsTUs E. 0. DAHL- BERG, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Pens, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to the general class of pens, but moreparticularly to reservoirpens; and the primary object is to provide asimple reservoir attachment to the holder whereby the necessity of theincessant dipping of the pen into the ink-well will be obviated.

With this object in view the invention consists in certain novel partsand the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts, as will be fullypointed out in the claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawings,in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a penholder constructed inaccordance with my in vention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same,part of the pen-stock being broken away. Fig. 3 is a verticallongitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 4 is a transversesectional view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a side elevation ofa slight modification. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of thesame. Fig. 7 is a side elevation of a still further modification, andFig. 8 is a longitudinal sectional View of the same.

Referring now to the drawings by referencenumerals, l designates apen-stock, on one end of which is sleeved a holder or a ferrule 2,adapted to receive and retain the pen 3, as well as supply the same withwriting fluid. This holder comprises a cylindrical tube slitlongitudinally at 4 for a portion of its length and provided withinwardly-bent portions 5 and 6, with the inner wall of the tube to forma C-shaped slot or recess to receive the pen 3. Projecting from the freeend of said sleeve and adapted to normally lie on a parallel plane withthe pen 3 is a forwardly-extending concavo-convex reservoir-blade 7,provided with the spreading-fingers 8 and 9 and the restricted extension10. Both the blade proper and the restricted portion are provided withperforations, through which the writing fluid may be admitted into thechamber 11, formed by the back of the pen 3 and the concave portion ofthe blade 7. Openings 12 are also formed at the juncture of theextension 10 with the blade 7, through which ink may be discharged overthe surface of the pen 3.

In the modification shown in Figs. 5 and 6 the reservoir-blade is shownas a separate attachment to be applied to any pen-stock and has anelongated or extended shank 13, which is adapted to embrace the pen andstock by means of the fingers l4 and 15, projecting from its respectiveends.

In Figs. 7 and 8 the blade is secured directly to the pen by the fingers14, which may be bent around the same to hold the pen and bladetogether.

It will thus be seen that I provide a cheap, durable, and efficientpenholder and reservoir to which any standard pen may be attached andwhich will readily perform the functions for which itis intended.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a device of the character described, the combination with apen-stock; of a holder at one end thereof, comprising a slotted tube,and a concavo-convex blade on one end of said tube having arestrictedextension formed with the blade so as to provide openings, both theblade and the extension also having openings, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JUSTUS E. O. DAHLBERG.
